Because the error is discovered in libmpdec and it would require a significant
amount of work to provide fine-grained error messages.

Yes, IMO float should detect the ambiguity. You see that the zero implies left
padding:
>>> "{:06}".format(1.2)
'0001.2'
And in case of a conflict right padding wins:
>>> "{:<06}".format(1.2)
'1.2000'
The unambiguous way to get right padding is:
>>> "{:0<6}".format(Decimal("1.2"))
'1.2000'
>>> "{:X<6}".format(Decimal("1.2"))
'1.2XXX' |
